Explore the principles of designing and building essential infrastructure that supports urban environments and city functions. Acquire expertise to contribute to sustainable infrastructure projects, including roads, parks, drainage systems, and wastewater treatment facilities. Civil engineering technologists play a key role in developing structures like buildings, bridges, highways, recreational spaces, subdivisions, dams, water management systems, and utility networks. This program examines Canadian civil engineering practices and urban development. The Civil Engineering Technology curriculum offers a dynamic learning experience, combining classroom theory with site visits to enhance practical problem-solving skills. Upon completion, graduates will demonstrate proficiency in: mathematical and applied science concepts, surveying techniques, technical communication, and civil engineering applications such as road and highway design, municipal projects, water and sewage systems, and large-scale construction. Additional competencies include drafting, computation, surveying, materials testing (soil, concrete, asphalt), construction oversight, technical documentation, cost estimation, structural design (steel and concrete), utility system planning, building climate control systems, and engineering regulations.
